Metz Genealogy & History

The Metz surname originated in Lorraine, where the Moselle and Seille rivers meet. That area often switches hands between the Germans and French. The city which shares its name with members of the Metz family was also the site of a three-month battle during WWII. Metz family history notes that the name arrived in America with Andrew, Simon, and Sebastian Metz and their families in 1709. The first confirmed record of the Metz family history was the writings describing the baptism of Angelina de Metz in 1814. Metz genealogy includes Metz Brewery founder and Nebraska Representative Frederick Metz.
